Filter by:We are conducting a randomised trial comparing outcomes of transperineal prostate biopsies under free-hand software assisted MRI/US fusion with transrectal biopsy guide software assisted MRI/US fusion. Primary outcome is the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer. Secondary outcomes is rate of complications including infection and sepsis, as well as feasibility and patient tolerability.
This research study is examining whether Neratinib has any activity in participants with prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer responding to hormonal treatment. - The names of the study drug involved in this study is neratinib.
The purpose of this study is to look at whether F-18 Fluciclovine (i.e. Axumin) is better or as good as F-18 Sodium Fluoride (F-18 NaF) when looking at bone disease from prostate cancer. Axumin is a radioactive agent used on a positron/computed tomography (PET/CT) camera to look for prostate cancer in general.
In this study, the investigator aim to evaluate the role of PMSA-PET guided SABR on progression free survival (PFS) in patients with oligoprogressive mCRPC with Enzalutamide. The potential improvement in PFS with SABR while continuing the initial-responding Enzalutamide is potentially benefiting to patients in terms of overall disease control.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the United States. Suppression of male hormone levels by using GnRH agonist ("hormone blocking therapy") for a few years is routinely used to treat prostate cancer. While the treatment is very effective, it decreases muscle mass and increases fat mass. This results in a decrease in insulin action (also called insulin resistance) and increases the likelihood of diabetes. It may also contribute to risk of developing heart disease. The investigators propose to conduct a trial that will:- 1. study the mechanisms through which GnRH agonists cause insulin resistance. 2. Evaluate a treatment that can decrease insulin resistance. This is a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind trial. Forty-four men with prostate cancer will be recruited in the trial before starting GnRH agonist therapy. Participants will undergo metabolic studies to evaluate insulin action (called insulin clamp), abdominal fat tissue biopsy to study insulin action at the cellular level and blood draws. The study volunteers will then be given either a placebo tablet or pioglitazone tablet to take once a day for the next six months. The metabolic tests, blood test and fat tissue biopsy will be obtained again at the end of the study.
This phase II trial studies how well androgen deprivation therapy and apalutamide with or without radiation therapy works for the treatment of prostate cancer that has a rise in the blood level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and has come back after treatment with surgery or radiation (biochemically recurrent). Androgens can cause the growth of prostate tumor cells. Apalutamide may help fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of androgens by the tumor cells. Androgen deprivation therapy drugs, leuprolide or degarelix, work to lower the amount of androgen in the body, also preventing the tumor cells from growing. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving radiation therapy with apalutamide and androgen deprivation therapy may help to control prostate cancer that has come back in only a few (up to 5) spots in the body.
The purpose of this single institution pilot study is to determine the feasibility of implementing an eHealth prostate cancer surveillance program through the eVisit electronic medical record patient portal. The investigators will assess patient compliance and satisfaction with eVisit follow up care in lieu of in person clinic visits.
The goal of this research is to examine the ability of Gallium-68 (68Ga) Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen-11 (PSMA-11) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to detect sites of recurrent prostate cancer in patients with biochemical recurrence previously treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) or external beam radiation (EBRT) and to assess treatment response to subsequent salvage therapy.
A proof of concept clinical trial to assess the synergism of curcumin (CURC) and ursolic acid (UA). Before further testing within formal cancer clinical trials, we must (1) evaluate the bioavailability and safety, (2) confirm the presence of metabolites in the target organ, and (3) validate the appropriate mechanism of effect
This phase II trial studies how well focal radiation therapy with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) or high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy works in treating patients with low or intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Brachytherapy, also known as internal radiation therapy, uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. HDR brachytherapy uses high doses of radiation to target these tumor cells. Giving focal radiation therapy with SBRT or HDR brachytherapy may target dominant tumor cells while sparing the reminder of the prostate or surrounding normal organs and ultimately reduce side effects while maintaining disease control.
